Re: [QE-users] SCF convergence of cp.x vs. pw.x

By the way: if I remember correctly, CP and PW do not give the same energy for charged cells. The difference is given by the net charge times the quantity 'Delta V(G=0)' printed in the output of CP Paolo On Fri, Mar 12, 2021 at 10:23 AM Paolo Giannozzi wrote: > Correct, but scf convergence in C

Correct, but scf convergence in CP is not THAT slow. The default value of the time step is dt=1, if I remember correctly. A value around 10 should yield a much faster convergence. Paolo On Fri, Mar 12, 2021 at 10:18 AM Giuseppe Mattioli < giuseppe.matti...@ism.cnr.it> wrote: > > Dear Chris > s

Dear Chris scf convergence with cp.x actually used to be painfully slow! For this reason, pw.x and cp.x should be interoperable, that is, you should be able to restart a converged pw.x calculation with cp.x. Have a look into the CPV/Restart_example/ directory, where restart details are e

Dear all, I am trying to run an SCF calculation in cp.x (because I want to use the spin contamination analysis of cp.x), however reaching convergence with cp.x seems painfully slow - probably my fault as I am not familiar with cp.x. System is a spin polarized calculation for a molecule in a vacuu
